What do you think about cliché phrases like, “Don’t marry the person you can live with; only marry the person you can’t live without?”

I have a great friend who lives about 20 hours away. He recently texted me and said he is interested in me, dating-wise. He said he just wanted to be honest.

Online Dating - Not Your Grandma's Way To Find A Spouse

A bunch of you asked me questions about my online dating experience. And the secret’s out…I never answered!

Sweet of me, I know. So last week I posted this short little documentary of the “Summer of Fun” I had with three friends when we gave online dating a shot. Then, I chose three of your questions to answer: Read more

Hey Friends,

I didn’t have time to make a trailer for this documentary, so for the full effect, turn on some dramatic movie music and read these quotes:

Eric Metaxas: Marriage, Miracles & Movies

Eric Metaxas: Marriage, Miracles and Movies

Eric Metaxas has written another book, and I’m sure it will also land on the New York Times bestsellers list like my other favorite book, Bonhoeffer (which he also wrote). Moving in a slightly a different direction than a historical bio, Eric’s most recent project, Miracles, centers on a topic that is a bit of a mystery to most of us.

But before we dive into all of that, get ready for some laughter as I take him through some “would you rather” questions and talk comedy, coffee and his distaste for wasps.

Age Segregation in America and the Church

Age Segregation in America and the Church

Researchers at MIT have begun seeing noticeable trends in society that mimic the impact of racial segregation in our communities.  This Boston Globe article examines and discusses the scientific and historical side of what age segregation has been like in America.  Inspired by this, I decided to do a little video to share my thoughts, as well as share some things that defined me as a child and now as an adult.

Storybooks and Hot Sauce. Read more

Well, hello!

This last summer I did a series with a guy named Dr. Norm “Normie” Thiesen, and I asked him all sorts of questions about singleness, dating and marriage. In one episode I asked him, “What questions should a young couple ask an older couple before they get married?”

He gave two answers.

Then I asked y’all a similar question, and you gave me 33 answers. Read more

Not only do I share my thoughts on chemistry, but I go off on a rant about how people IN a relationship or marriage should and should not counsel others.
